Hahahaha!!! That is funny!!

It is not very nice to say that kind of things. I thought that in the forum we should use moderate language.

Maybe you should translate it in english like this all the non cantonese speaker can understand what you say?

Can you please give me your point to insult somebody because he just ask if there is any french speaker on the forum?

he/she shld at least try to write in simple english, knowing that this is an English forum and where we are located.

I have never known a french who can speak or write a little English, unless they are anti-UK.


Indefine was just trying to get his message accross though a little sarcastic but funny.


Let;s wait for ciao to surface again.

I can understand that Indefine tried to be sarcastic but for my point of view there is no reason to insult somebody specially to hide iit behind cantonese pinyin

im a gweiloo and i can roughly understand wht Indefine says

diu lay lo mo = son of a bitch something like that

pok gai = bastard something like that

i dun see his purpose
i can say the same in french also maybe its fun....i dun see!

anyway

translation to my original post - "ngo diu lay lo mo chau hai, li do gong gwong dong wah mm hai gong fat mun ah pok gai's"
(oh you fucking mother fuckers, here we speak chinese not french you shit heads)

ok, since you didnt get the intent of my post i guess i will have to explain myself. first off, you obviously are chinese yourself since you know what i typed are profanities. since the OP posted in french and delighting us with a bit of french culture, being his first post, i just wanted to welcome him with the brotherly chinese way - consider it an exchange of cultures in a way.

if you are familiar with how 'bros' speak in hk, you will know what i mean when you see common folk talking and every second word is a profanity at each other. example, "wei diu lay pok gai hui bin do ah? ngo dim lun ji do ah, ping si do hai lay guo lun yeung wah si ga la."  

(translation for the above phrase since i am obviously offending someone here by not writing in english - "hey you shithead where are we going? i have no fucking idea, its usually your dickface that makes the call.") now if two bro's conversed like that, would they be insulting each other?

now this is our hk culture and this is how a lot of bros will speak to each other in hk. clearly offensive words, but in the context of everyday speach, these words act more as fillers rather than taken for their literal meaning. i don't know qiao and i have no reason, and i repeat NO REASON to put him down. if i was serious about putting him down, i would have done so straight up in english, trust me. be clear on that! so lets not blow hot air into something that wasnt meant to be out of proportion.

if you can find me rude for typing pinyin in a way i'd speak to a bro in real life here, i could argue the same for him typing french when its obviously an english forum here. but my point is, i never took offense to it, it was just an opportunity to poke some fun and exchange some cultures in a lighthearted way. if you look deeper, i am actually also making fun of how we actually do speak in chinese too. some will see the humor, some wont. to each their own.

thx for explaining Indefin....now make sense.
u mean u r using slang language or hood language?

anyway its cool i like that

ok, so that no one thinks indefine is hiding anything, what he pretty much said was:

You fuckers, here we speak Cantonese, not French, you fuckhead.

now, someone go write that in Chinese.  Half of those words, I'm not even sure if there are written Chinese words for them.

See, the way that indefine should have coded it would have been something like this:

"Delay no more, you smelly crab.  A big flower bridge to you. Go play some street poker."

Hi Indefine,

I am not chinese, i am french, but i ve been living in HK for enought long time to understand cantonese.

Thx to explain us your meaning and also also to introduce the MK culture to the newbies

Welcome to the forum.  I hope you will share with us your french experiences.  Especially with any suggestions for French wine, and cheese.   Found any good french woman in Hong Kong?

Hey...I'm French. I speak a little bit english, can read and write a little english. But I'm definitely not anti-UK. Actually, I might be living in England in about one year.
Actually, the youngsters in France, who have higher education level, strive more and more to improve their english skills by spending some time in UK or Canada. So, the people you're describing are the older generation or the youngsters who stop their studies at high school level or before. Things are changing in a good way but it will take more time. Be patient with us !

Salut, et bienvenue sur ce forum.

Comme l'a déjà mentionné l'un des modérateurs, il s'agit d'un forum anglophone. Dans un but de courtoisie à l'égard des autres membres, il  serait bon d'écrire uniquement en anglais afin que tout le monde soit à-même de comprendre. Quand bien même tu écrirais dans un anglais simple, tout le monde appréciera cet effort.
Personnellement, j'ai dû mal avec l'anglais mais je m'éfforce de l'utiliser ici, car c'est la langue de ce forum.
Ceci n'est que mom humble avis.

Au plaisir de te lire )

A liittle translation, for the bros who are unfamiliar with french language:

Hi, and welcome to this forum.

As one of the moderators has already mentionned, this is an english speaking forum. As a courtesy to other forum members, it'll be good to write only in english so that everybody would be able to understantd. Even though, you were only able to write in simple english, everybody would appreciate that effort.
Personnally, I have a hard time with english language, but I strive to use it here, because that's the language of this forum.
This is only my humble opinion.

conqueror77,

You are too modest about your English skills.
I have read countless comments by you that
were idiomatic (no, not idiotic ) at the
level of a native speaker.

That said, your advice to frere max78 is
excellent.

I understand you are saying something funny : (oh you fucking mother fuckers, here we speak chinese not french you shit heads)  Next time try to improve

I can manage with this rule and appreciate to learn so much new words and abbreviation which I am not used to ear in my neighbourhood

My point is not to definitely speak French but to know when i read something from a French speaking brother or not .... so I can ask for the meaning of this or that when I do not find the word or the ab. in my Internet dictionary ... :-)

and to sat a special a modest "hello" to french bros...

Anyhow thanks to everybody's  advices and welcome words ..... with a special mention for the one who is specialist in mother's fucker

All the best
